Candles

Are these candles safe for people with allergies or asthma?

Many people prefer beeswax or soy-based candles for a cleaner burn. Trim the wick and burn in a ventilated room. If you’re sensitive to fragrance, start with lighter scents and shorter burn times.

How do I choose a scent for my mood?

For relaxation, try lavender or sandalwood. For energy, choose citrus or mint. Earthy scents like cedarwood can support focus. Start subtle if you’re sensitive to strong fragrance.

I’m a beginner; how do I prevent candle tunneling?

Let the first burn melt wax fully to the edges (about 2–3 hours). This helps the candle burn evenly in future uses and prevents wasted outer wax.

What’s the difference between Soy Blend and 100% Soy?

100% soy burns cleanly and evenly but may have a softer scent. Soy blends often offer stronger fragrance. If you want balance, look for plant-based blends like soy-coconut.

Why can’t I smell my candle when it’s lit?

This may be a weak “hot throw.” Larger rooms require larger or multi-wick candles. Make sure the candle size matches your space for better scent diffusion.

Why is my candle producing smoke or blackening the jar?

The wick may be too long. Trim it to 1/4 inch before each burn. A shorter wick creates a steadier flame and reduces soot buildup.
